- Manuel Hartweg secured a post-doc position at MIT, Boston and subsequently a permanent research position in Switzerland based on the work reported in this paper. Levulinic acid is one of the ten identified important biomass chemicals that will be used widely in the future. Usually, chemists modify the levulinic acid to obtain cyclic monomers and then polymerize. However, in this paper demonstrated for the first time the direct polymerization of leulinic acid using a multicomponent reaction.
